When we are planninga photo session we have to take intoconsideration several things.Namely, it is not only about date, time and place but also about discussingideas, accessories, stylization, etc. It is importantto have good understandingbetween“photographer” and “model” and I canquite honestlysay,thatme and Marleneunderstand each othervery well.During the last meeting, we came uptonew ideas, so it’s certainly notthe end of ourcooperation!

Yearwith the ‘Kids Were Here” project is justpassing. I hadsome doubts andthought aboutjoining , because theyearis a long time. Now I knowthatI will try tocontinuethis projectuntilwhen mychild “leave the nest“. For me it was a timefor reflection,learning, and …fun.I took more than48 photos. The culminationof our work/I am thinking ofallthose involvedin the project/ is a exhibition, whichwill be open from10.05.2014, in the “Mamy Cafe” in Cracow. Oneof myphotosalsowill beon this exposition. You want toseewhich? Just stop by. You are very welcome.

It is marchand with it the winter is back.This is the firstsnow from december, which was a weatheranomalyin this partof Norway. We already started toenjoy thewarm and sunny days. We were feelingspring in the air,until thisweekend, when thesnowy winter came back.

There wassnow storm, but we managed to “jump out” for a whileto get some fresh air andadmire thewhite landscapes. Although it iscold witha calendar springjust around the corner…

This is the 10th month of the project ” Kids were here .” There are only two months left to the official end of this project . However, I know that I will continue it for a longer time.

The events that took place in the past, quickly run away from our memory. I want to keep those moments. I know that through these photographs , we can go back in time and remember where and how we lived and what our son been doing. He came to this point that it is no longer sufficient to draw the “art” on the paper or on the tabletop. I’m sure you remember wall paintings of Your children. We also have the first “art” picture on the wall. Maybe it is not a very good for our son eduction , but instead of immediately wash off drawing (thank you for washable paints ) and explain that you can not draw your pictures on the walls , … I grabbed my camera 😉
We have to deal with many situations , which illustrates next picture. We are puting the baby bath into the shower, because usually a lot of water lands beyond. Can You see that I have a good helper when I’m loading washing machine ? He wanted to have also cleaned toy phone.
And finally, sticker – “eyes” of Lego’s . They are everywhere . There is something watching us …. And the last of the presented pictures , which showes the time when our son announces that he finished his meal . His table is clean ( he likes to have clean ), but under the table , I have to clean it up 🙂

Each of usleaves traces behind and especiallysuch a small, busymanasour son. Sometimes it is good to look behindto seeevidence ofhis presence.And so itisin our case. We were indifferent places, such as restaurants, airports…and of course, everywhereweresigns ofour beeing….

As You can see, the carsaccompaniedus everywhere. They are in differentsize, colorand shape.Oftenlocatedin different places, such as on his dad abdomenorjamedbehind the radiator.Probablymore than once,I will findabandoned toysinvarious pleaces, or items“stuffed” in between thefurnitures….

We are spendingtimein Poland.New, old places, large spaces, and what is the most important the time which we are spending with our familly. I feelthatour sonison the right spot. Alleyes are onhim. He is everywhere, so I can see the tracesof his presenceat every step.

I was looking for zoom lens with a better light for some time now. Recently I was making pictures only with my Nikkor 35mm f 1.8 G, so I missed the wide view, especially in tight spaces. The announcement of the new Sigma 18-35 mm f/1.8 A DC HSM Lens came in april 2013 . I read the first test about the Sigma in june and it was on the http://www.optyczne.pl . I immediately thought : this is what I’m looking for.

My impressions after first use; the lens is solid , but heavy. The weight is 810 grams, so You can really “feel it ” on the neck or in your hands. Reading the comments on the internet about sigma lenses , you can find statements that are some problems with focus (back or front). In my sigma lens I did not noticed those problems. The AF is quiet, fast and accurate and it’s very important for me, especially when I’m doing the pictures of my son. 🙂 However, if anyone will notice problems with backfocus or frontfocus, the precise focus calibration can be done at home, with the Sigma USB Dock .

I’m just an amateur , so I will not write about aberrations , because I don’t know anything about it. Therefore I recommend the reviews done by professionals.

The timepasses very quicklyand some of ourmemories with it.We often forgetabout the moments, whichat that time don’t seems to beveryimportant, but in the futurethey will have greatsentimental value for us. Weforgethow we were spendingtimewith our child, where andwhatwe were doing…Looking on thepictures I can be surethat I will alwaysremember, for example how ourlittle boywanderedintoour bedin the morning,or thathe likedto play withhis pacifier, which hedrove on the“choo-choo train”. I’m sure I will never forget the moment when we were making the animals from lego toys and our son just smashed them within one move.

I want to catch and keep so many importantmoments for our familly ! And I hopethatmygrandchildren will be laughingto tears of just looking on the pictures🙂

The long evenings came along with autumn.Dayspassessoquickly. I feel thelack of sun, and good lightingto take pictures.Darkness comes very fast.Our sonspends more timeat homethan outside, so I can see his traces everywhere. He is gettingmore and morepowerful. He caneasilymove thechair,orpush his stroller … He can alsoreach the places wherethere was somethinghiddenfrom him. Our son isa very good observerandhe started to imitate what we are doing.I hope hewill imitate the tidying also 🙂

Inthis projectI would like toshow the children, when they play andinteractingwitheach other in differentsituationsin the kindergarden. All parentswill receive twophotographs ofhischildren, one portraitandone photowhere the child is “in action”.
